Mulholland Drive
Scenic canyon road
Mulholland Drive is a winding road that runs along the ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles, offering panoramic views of the city and the San Fernando Valley.
Named after William Mulholland, the engineer who built the Los Angeles Aqueduct, the road has become synonymous with Hollywood glamour, wealth, and the darker side of the entertainment industry.
It appears frequently in films, songs, and literature as a symbol of Los Angeles itself.
David Lynch's 2001 film of the same name cemented its association with mystery and the surreal underbelly of the movie business.
